Refinery timeline
Does any one have an idea when the reorganization will come to the refineries? I've heard rumors of October but if they announce the new chart then I don't know if layoffs will happen then or after the first of the year.

Another wave of layoffs at Full Sail
All departments seem to be impacted, rumored 188 employees cut.
Same as last year, blindsided zoom meetings, they read you a script and jamf lock your laptop and ki-l your accounts the moment the meeting ends.
New CFO mandate
Word down at the watering hole is that CFOs fixin' mandate to take a mighty sharp kn--e to everything, and he ain't fixing to waste any time doing it, neither.
Demotions
Any truth to the rumors of people being told their position is being downgraded to a lower grade level, and they can either accept it or leave? Are they offering a separation package for those who do not accept this? Wondering if this is true and what roles/business units are affected.

Reddit: Bottom 15% being Auto-PIP'd
Only Elite Human Capital could think this is a good idea: Everyone in the bottom 15% of whatever nonsense metrics they're using this week (whichever ones the right people can game properly) are getting automatically PIP'd.
https://www.reddit.com/r/IBM_Employees/comments/1vyloiq/low_performance_bucket/
As we all know they use PIPs to prep people for being RA'd. And all the rumors are pointing to a massive RA in September.
Anyone heard anything about Focal?

Tuesday is usually the layoff day
From what I can remember, layoffs almost always start on Tuesday, so I'm going to assume it's going to be the same this time. I don't buy this "layoffs are canceled" talk, we all know it's going to happen.

Just an excuse for more cuts
That's all this latest rumor is about. You buy a company, you get a chance to get rid of redundant positions, and somehow the number of such positions is always huge. As if not all of them are redundant, but were somehow marked as such because, why not use the opportunity to the max?

Anything concrete?
